"Don't think too much about it, we're just here to kidnap, put down your weapons, or everyone will shoot you."

Kidnappers, thieves, do not accept threats.

Zhang Ming threatened them again, and the soldiers all raised their bows and crossbows.

"Zhang Ming, you dare..."

To lay down the weapon is to let others slaughter, Cao Xing made the last struggle.

Zhang Ming raised his hand and shot an arrow to kill one of the guards next to him.

"Lao Tzu has always taken revenge, and if you dare to do something to Lao Tzu, you must be ready to die."

really dare to kill, in the face of the bloody reality, everyone has no choice but to lay down their weapons.

"Scavenge the belongings, let's go."

killed someone, Zhang Ming didn't hide immediately, first collected the belongings and took them away, and then went to the beach.

Zhang Ming: Their actions are public, and they are not shy about pedestrians on the side of the road.

Many people saw the scene of the crime, and the news will spread quickly.

Although, most people can guess that it is Zhang Ming, but there must be evidence.

Before Zhang Ming had evidence and witnesses, the government insisted that it was the thief who did it, and now the thief clearly played the banner of the thief, and in broad daylight, he killed and kidnapped, and the government could still say that it was Zhang Ming at this time?

Without evidence, Zhang Ming is not something they can bully casually, even if everyone in the world knows that no evidence is no evidence.

There is evidence, why didn't they speak when Zhang Ming put the evidence in front of them.

Zhang Ming took people all the way to the beach.

In this era, you can't rely on the sea to eat the sea, so there are very few people on the beach.

Throwing people casually to the beach, Zhang Ming and the others all ripped off the black cloth on their faces.

"Zhang Ming, what do you want to do? Do you want to be the enemy of our family? ”

Cao Xing thought a lot along the way, and he was really scared.

Zhang Ming sneered, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"Lao Tzu has long been an enemy of your family, and Lao Tzu has killed a lot of families."

After spitting out the smoke ring, Zhang Ming looked at Cao Xing and Wei Dong and said, "You two, let's see if I can get money from you." ”

"Zhicai, write a letter to their family, ask them to ransom people with money, and in five days, if you find out that the government is sending troops, whether it is for us or not, you will immediately tear up the ticket."

The two of them trembled, and said sharply: "Zhang Ming, if you dare to do this, aren't you afraid of the imperial court, aren't you afraid of the world's leisurely mouth?" ”

Zhang Ming took two puffs of cigarette and said after enjoying it: "What is Lao Tzu afraid of? I don't know how many people Lao Tzu has killed. ”

"You don't offend me, your position is different, I wanted to engage Tao Qian at the beginning, but you were too weak and too greedy."

Cao Xing and Wei Dong didn't understand what Zhang Ming was talking about, but they didn't need to understand.

"Take them all on the boat, and go to work in the tea plantations in the south, and whip them if you are lazy."

The fate of Cao Xing, Wei Dong and the other guards has been decided.

Regardless of whether Zhang Ming could get the ransom or not, they couldn't go back, so they threw it directly on the barren mountain to plant tea.

After finishing everyone, Zhang Ming and their team disappeared mysteriously.

The disappearance of the two big salt merchants is a big deal.

It's going to be a big deal.

It is enough to sensational the whole of Xuzhou.

After that, even if there were many people who doubted Zhang Ming, as long as Zhang Ming didn't admit it, as long as they didn't find Cao Xing and Wei Dong, no one could deal with him.

It was the previous government of Xuzhou itself that said that there was a wanted group of bandits here.

Soon, Xi Zhicai arranged for someone to send a ransom letter.

Not to mention, this is really going to be ransom, the Wei family gives more, and the Cao family gives some symbolically.

This is to make Cao Xing die.

"Hmph, it seems that this Cao Xing's character is not good."

Zhang Ming sneered, the Cao family gave so little, only 100,000 copper coins, which was a drizzle for the Cao family.

And this Wei family is much better, give 500,000 copper coins, and be strict, as long as Wei Dong can go back, give another 500,000 copper coins.

This Wei family is doing well, then Zhang Ming asked the people on the south side to take care of it more and give Wei Dong an easier job.

After getting the ransom, the gang of thieves disappeared.

After Tao Qian found out, he was furious.

"Zhang Ming, damn it."

"I want to go to the court, and I want to cure you for your great crimes."

Assassin Shifu, Tao Qian, who has always been relatively gentle, was also furious at this time and slammed the table.

When Tao Qian was so angry that he slammed the table, the holy decree of the imperial court also came.

Salted fish should be sold, but it must be taxed in the same way as salt.

Paying taxes will not do any harm to the imperial court, but it will be a disaster for the family in Xuzhou, their prices are too high, and they cannot compete at all.

Tao Qian received the holy decree and looked at the holy decree blankly, not knowing what to do.

"Tao Thorn Shi, congratulations, in view of the fact that there is a county order in Xuzhou that is actually a thief and wants to rebel, in order to facilitate the governance of Xuzhou, Your Majesty specially appointed you as the governor of Xuzhou."

Tao Qian was promoted and became the governor of Xuzhou in advance, with great power.

At the same time, he also told him that Zhang Ming's killing of Wen Tu had been revealed, and the imperial court had determined that Wen Tu had rebelled.

Tao Qian was promoted, if he still wanted to do this, the court would not agree.

In fact, this is also the result of mutual compromise between many forces.

Some people advocate that salted fish should not be sold, some people advocate that Zhang Ming's crime should be punished, and there are also many people who support Zhang Ming.

The two sides competed, and after more than ten days of negotiations, they were finally allowed to sell salted fish, but they also paid taxes, and in order to fight against Zhang Ming, Tao Qian became the pastor of Xuzhou.

The power of the state pastor and the assassin is too different.

The state pastor, the military and political power of the entire state, is the local emperor.

After some thanksgiving, Tao Qian was busy all day dealing with all the things.

However, Zhang Ming is still like a fish in his throat.

At this time, Tao Qian called Mi Zhu over.

Tao Qian became the state pastor and held the military and political power in Xuzhou, and he wanted to recruit Mi Zhu as an official to help him.

Mi Zhu came soon and brought a heavy gift.

Tao Qian became the state pastor, which is a big deal.

"Congratulations to the Governor."

It was originally a great joy, but Tao Qian was not happy at this time.

He said: "Zhang Ming is still in Xuzhou, Xuzhou was a mess by him, this matter is not resolved, and the old man is not happy to become the pastor of this state." ”

"Lord Governor, you are now a state pastor, and Zhang Ming has to bow his head no longer if he doesn't know each other."

is going to collect taxes, if Zhang Ming pays taxes according to the regulations, Tao Qian can only make him stumbling block at most, and he wants to drive him out of Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will still not work.

"Do you have a plan?"

Mi Zhu was silent for a while before saying, "Negotiate with Zhang Ming." ”

"Negotiations?"

Tao Qian had a wave of anger in his chest, and he went to Zhang Ming to negotiate, but he admitted defeat.

Tao Qian didn't want to bow to anyone, and he didn't want to bow to Zhang Ming.

"Lord Governor, you have just taken office, although you are in power, if you can't settle Xuzhou as soon as possible, it will be a big blow to your prestige."

Tao Qian sighed deeply, this is a shame.

"It seems that it can only be like this, but what if Zhang Ming doesn't negotiate?"

"Lord Governor, I would like to go and find out the wind for you."

"Zi Zhong can't, then Cao Xing and Wei Dong, most of them were done by Zhang Ming, if you go to him, I am afraid that something will happen."

"Don't worry, don't worry, contact him openly in the next place, although Zhang Ming is crazy, he will not be unfavorable to me."
